UPDATE!! SNAKES ON A PLANE Footage!! WATCH!!

Published at:  Mar 17, 2006 10:49:04 AM CST

href="mailto:merrick@aintitcool.com">Merrick here...



UPDATE: According to New Line, the footage linked below is not a trailer, rather an assemblage of clips exclusive to TagWorld. The effects seen in this footage aren't finished & are works in progress, not reflecting the film's final effects work. The official teaser trailer should be coming in about a month.



As far as I'm concerned, it's still pretty damn groovy & if you haven't seen it yet, you should check it out!



SEE Mace Windu lay the smack down on serpentine evil! "Enough is enough.." he says, "I've HAD it with the snakes!" before beatting the crap out of someone with a flailing viper!



Watch the EXLCUSIVE CLIP HERE!


It's good to be alive!

    Apparently the script is like Air Force One with snakes from what my friend has read of it. Secondly, they were going to change the movie's title to "Flight 113" or some random crap like that, but Samuel L. Jackson refused, saying that the main reason he's doing the movie, is because the damn name is Snakes on a Plane.

    Sold! Man, this just made my whole day. I haven't laughed that hard at a trailer in ages. It looks so bad it can't be anything but utterly fantastic. Seriously, it's like the filmmakers suddenly realized what the film was going to be called and just said "fuck it, just pile on the goddamn snakes and high altitude hijinks." I can't help but admire purity of purpose like that -- especially in something so wonderfully awful as SNAKES ON A PLANE. The title alone guarantees this will be cinema gold. I am so there.

    He was a man, then Cobra-La changed him to a snake to punish him. Serpentor was made from the dna of historical bad asses, if I remember correctly. I really think I need to be shot for knowing this.

    Serpentor was a combination of of DNA from Julius Caeser, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and some others. He just dressed like he was half snake. ----------- I hope I get a "Stupid Cartoon Villians" category on Jeopardy or else this knowledge will never pay off.

    You are correct about Serpentor...I remembered the historical villians dna I just thought that Dr. MindBender mixed in Snake DNA too...I had forgotten about Cobra Commander in the GI Joe Movie...I don't believe any of the GI Joe movie(s) were released in the thatres...the weather machine one, at least the way I remember it was released on video...the Serpentor movie was done over a like a week or 2 week period hosted by Sgt. Slaughter, who was there to wipe the joes into shape...I actually perfer the Serpentor movie because a)it had Shipwreck, the 2nd coolest mofo in the entire Joes...and b) in the weather machine movie they had Spirit fighting Storm Shadow not snake eyes the absoulte coolest mofo in the Joes...now what I can't remember is the name of the helicopter pilot, can someone help me out...the texas hillybilly

If he's in a bad movie, no one even REMEMBERS he's been in that movie - he can take any fucking movie job he pleases. He chose 'Snakes on a Plane' because of the hilarious title. He actually threatened to back out if they changed the title, saying, "I signed on for fuckin' SNAKES ON A PLANE!"

    GI JOE Helicopter Pilot and...

    by mahasamatman

    The pilot was code-named "Wild Bill." The helicopter was "The Dragonfly." Incidentally, I never could figure out in GI Joe why they had all these specialists with transportation -- Wild Bill for the helicopter, Clutch for the car, Ace for the fighter jet, Deep-Six for the diving bell -- yet every other Joe could just jump in the whatever and drive or fly or dive just as well. Must've given those other guys an inferiority complex.

    Finest moment in Cinema

    by againtoday

    Yes! This is truly an Andy Warhol moment! The sheer fact that this movie exists is a work of art in and of itself. The fact that this teaser lives up to the sheer ball-swaggering of its title places it through the stratosphere. Truly belongs amongst Van Gogh's Starry Night and Moore's Watchmen as pinacles within their field.

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the snakes through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost snakes. And I will strike down upon thee snakes with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

    Snake-whippin' controversy!

    by cat_corporation

    I really hope this movie isn't a joke, I really really do......But an alarming word about the excellent snake-whippin' moment. My computer started buffering at that exact moment,and I'm not convinced it WAS a snake-whippin'! It looked more like a life-saving situation,where SLJ jumps in to save the guy by grabbing and smacking down the snake. But I hope I am wrong. Genius - should be great!

    I think it was Sam Jackson just grabbing a snake that was probably sneaking up on him and throwing it down. That guy seemed to be just incidentally sitting there. Still an awesome trailer though. So I wonder what Tom Cruise will do when this movie beats MI:3. Suicide will be the only honorable way.

    Usually it's the other way around. Like AMC is a big chain in the States and they wouldn't show "The Aristocrats" because of the language. Studios want to get their films in as many screens they can afford, I can't think of a situation where they'd purposly not show their films with a specific chain.

    First off, don't blame SLJ for taking what's offered him; he never said anything about suffering for his art, like some pedistal-climbers. You should be so lucky. Second, FvJ did box office enough to warrant a sequel, regardless of how steaming a pile it was, so it goes to show the public has different tastes than the overly critical (a pathetic sub-group of which I am unfortunately a member of). Lastly, It's film. It's entertainment. It fills the stomach. You're probably one of them types who, back when opera was created as a pablum for the French masses, would turn your nose up at it as poor art. That goes for the rest of us: what exactly do we expect out of those in the entertainment industry? And, if our expectations are high, then why don't we apply those expectations towards our own work? And don't say you do.

    The Thematic Ideals of Snakes on a Plane

    by undercovercop

    I've been thinking about the underyling issues that Snakes on a Plane will raise and I've come up with an idea I think is very possible. Here's what we know this film will have:

    SNAKES, PLANES, SAM JACKSON.

    I've been able to figure out that this film will be a parable for the power of aviation in war. We know that snakes can symbolically mean evil, or even represent the devil himself. Generally many people consider their enemies to be devils.

    The Year of the Snake on the Japanese calendar was, get this, Janurary 27, 1941 to February 14, 1942.

    What happened on December 7th 1941, which happens to fall between the year of the snake? Pearl Harbor.

    What did the Japanese use to attack pearl harbor with? Planes. Planes, which had been use for transporting people and other trade goods were now being used for evil purpose, for death. They had become a devil.

    How does Snakes on a Plane relate to this? The snakes in Snakes on a Plane are a symbol for the Japanese's evil use of aviation to destroy Pearl Harbor. In essence, this plane in the film, will be filled with Snakes. Without the Snakes the plane is just a harmless tool, but with snakes on it becomes a dangerous weapon. So you might say the snakes represent the possibility of turning aviation into a dangerous weapon. The snakes represent that possibility, they represent the Japanese during WWII. Once the "devils" aka Snakes infest the plane, it becomes a weapon that can harm.

    And get this. You know what the element of that particular year of the snake was? Metal. What is made of metal? Planes.

    But how does this connect to history, is it a simple parable of the attack on Pearl Harbor. No, it goes much deeper. Just like before Pearl Harbor, nobody in the US thought the Japanese were a problem for the country, but we recognized their problem for the entire world. Just like snake attacks aren't a big problem in the United States, but in other African countries they are. The snakes (Japanese), weren't a problem until they attacked our plane (The United States). So one can see the metaphor not only makes comments on the power of turning aviation into a weapon, but comments on the global politics of WWII.

    But the things is, snakes aren't inherently evil. There are good snakes and bad snakes, venomous and harmless. But before 1941 many looked down upon the Japanese people as all evil. We interned thousands of innocent people. Just like snakes of all venoms and sizes are kept in zoo's across the US. Now we have corrected that, now we just fear the violent and evil people of a particular group, not the entire people. Do you think all of the snakes on Snakes on a Plane will be evil? I doubt it, but everyone will treat them like that.

    To illustrate this we must examine other films that showcase the feelings of Americans during this period. We all know Raiders of the Lost Ark reflects racist and imperialist tendancies of the 1930-40's America. What happens in that film? Indy goes on a plane...he meets a snake...he says, "I hate Snakes...." That's an important metaphor for the Japanese who he perceived were devilish snakes that turned airplanes into weapons of War. A harmless snake like Reggie posed no threat to Indy himself, but he viewed all snakes as evil. Notice he doesn't say, "I hate your Snake Jock!", He says, "I hate snakes" He hates them all. That sentiment was expressed and many people agreed with Indy back in that time, but they never thought that was a problem. Indeed, Indy doesn't even give a consideration to Snake attacks as a whole across the world as he flees from Peru. He was just concerned about that one snake that was an immediate "threat" to him.

    But what happens later in the film? He opens the well of souls and see's billions of snakes, and he finally becomes aware of the true problem these snakes cause. Not all of these snakes are evil mind you, but under the leadership of evil snakes they appear that way, and Indy couldn't make that distinction. But the snakes were still a problem for Indy. He couldn't get to the Ark without going through them. Just like the US desired peace for the world, but we didn't realize we would have to go through the Japanese in a war to attain it. We figured we had peace, but didn't realize the Japanese (snakes) were also a problem for us, even though they hadn't directly attacked us.

    Do you think there will all of a sudden be no snakes on that plane and then a bunch? No, there won't be. One snake, or maybe two will slither there way into that plane in the beginning of the movie, and a few passangers will be afraid and say, "****, there's snakes on this plane." But everyone else will say, "Oh No, there's just that one snake on this plane" Untill the snakes attack the plane in full (Like Pearl Harbor), the passangers (The US people) will never realize the true danger they are in. But once they attack, once that pearl harbor happens on that plane, they will fight back. And that's where Sam Jackson comes in.

    Sam Jackson represents the isolationist America. In the beginning of the film he won't be a loud mouth, he won't make conversation with the people around him, he'll sit in his seat like a sleeping giant. But when those snakes attack, when that Snake Pearl Harbor happens, the sleeping giant will awake. Like he says in the trailer, "That's it, I've had it with these snakes.". Clearly writing inspired by FDR's speech on Dec. 8th.

    Jackson willl attack these snakes with a swift stroke, they will hurt many of the passangers, but in the end he will prevail. He will make the snakes surrender. Just like the Japanese did. Jackson carries a gun and tazer, he himself will turn the plane into a weapon of war, just the US did. He will kill every snake on that plane. Regardless of whether they are responsible or not. Just like we did in the Total War that was WWII. Innocent snakes will die, but it will be for the greater good. Jackson will have to commit evil to do good, he will have to save that plane from those snakes. Just like the US saved the world from the Japanese empire.

    But in the end goodness will prevail. Jackson will have saved the plane. He will have saved the world. I imagine a touching prologue where Jackson realizes his experiences on that plane weren't representative of all snakes (Aka, Japanese after WWII). He will go to a zoo. He will walk up to a snake cage. Touching music will play. He will look at the harmless snake, it will look back at him. The snake will rise up ready to strike, but it will nod it's head at Jackson and Jackson will nod back. Jackson will free the snake from it's cage (Internment Camp) and they will walk into the sunset. Before the snakes came on that plane they were enemies, after the plane landed they became friends. Snakes on a Plane will show that racism that existed before WWII, but it will show the aftermath, and the rise of Snakes in the publics mind as beneficial and important animals in the world. Just like Japan rose after WWII to greatness. It's a strong connection, a brilliant metaphor.

    This film will touch on the moral consequences of war, it will parallel one of the most important conflicts in all of history. It will open eyes, and touch hearts. You think you know who these snakes are? You have no idea. With any justice, this will be taking home the oscar come 2007.
